A birthday that comes with surprises is some of the best memories many people have.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings will not forget his 70th birthday anytime soon.

This is because he received a surprise gift; a pitch-black, convertible, sporty 1993 Chevy coupé.

Built on the fourth generation platform (C4) the car is a unique collectible version of a classic American sports car.

The classic ride boasts of a 5.7-liter LT1 V-8 engine.

For a classic car, its 300 Horse Power, four-speed Automatic Transmission makes it a fitting gift, for a most-loved former President.

The identity of the person who presented the gift is yet to be known.
